definition: The Department of Thermal Engineering, originally knows as the Power group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, was established in 1952 under the name of the Department of Power Systems. The Department of Mechanical Engineering had been originally established in 1932. The graduate section of the department has always focused on improving our graduates quality with an emphasis on moral education. At present, for teaching and scientific research, in the Department of Thermal Engineering there are five institutes, namely: - Institute of Thermal Engineering; - Institute of Power Mechanics and Engineering; - Institute of Thermophysics (including the Center of Thermal Power Teaching Laboratory); - Institute of Fluid Mechanics and Engineering; - Institute of Control, Safety, and Simulation of Large Power Plants. There is one State Key Laboratory: State Key Laboratory of Safety, Control and Simulation of Electrical Systems and Electric Generators (in conjunction with the Department of Electrical Systems). Besides, for teaching and research, there is one establishment: State Engineering Research Center for Industrial and Domestic Clean Use of Coal. Many research projects completed by the Department of Thermal Engineering have been recognized with awards from the central government and some ministries and provinces. The Department of Thermal Engineering trains students in engineering design, experimental research and engineering management in the following areas: energy research and utilization, clean combustion techniques, optimization and simulation of power systems and devices, and power engineering and control. The department grants undergraduate degrees in Energy, Power System and Automation and graduate degrees in four areas: engineering Thermophysics; thermal engineering; power Mechanics and engineering, and fluid Mechanics and engineering. The department has had post-doctoral candidates since 1988. Thermophysics, thermal engineering and power Mechanics and eng…
